How exactly are you measuring the voltage when cranking?

I have a aftermarket gauge im not sure what it is connected to.

But also looked at what the ECU is reading as well. I also was using the KPRO to see what the ECU was seeing and it didnt drop below 11.2 last night but when i would disconnect the laptop. i would get hte error.

Also, when i was getting the CEL i couldnt do anything at all when i plugged the laptop in i had to turn the car off first then plug in the laptop cause it wouldnt let me connect to the ecu. When i did connect my laptop to it with it running and the code on it would start acting very funny like idle harsher rev kinda float in the rpms. '

Turn the car off and leave the laptop plugged in none of that would happen. I don't understand.

Have you done this?: http://www.hondata.com/techk20ground.html

You need to measure the voltage at the ECU using a multimeter to see what is actually happening when cranking.

Yes i have done that.

And when i connect to the ECU before i start it up then watch the Voltage on the ECU isnt that the same thing? if its not what good is the voltage meter on the ECU?

That is not the same thing. You need to use a multimeter and actually check the voltage when cranking. You have said that it does not get the error if you have the USB connected when cranking.

Ok, i will do that after i get off work which pin do i need to connect to?

I think the daughter board is fried.

When i bought the car the kpro was already installed. Looks like something might have gotten on the board.

Ill show you a pic when i get home. This has been so frustrating!

If it is fried what has to be done?

what do you think? 2 are blackened and one is really black.

Post a picture showing the entire inside of the ECU, makign sure there is no glare and it is in focus.

alright, i will when i get off work.

The only spots that are different are the 3 that have black burnout looking Cells. everything else is normal.

I removed the daughterboard to make sure it was seated correctly and that the connectors weren't loose and everything was tight there as well.

I didnt get time to take a pic of it last night My father in law broke his ribs so i was busy with that.

Also, is the reason you are wanting a full size pic to make sure its a real kpro? cause that was the first thing i checked and
it is indeed genuine. It just appears that it was overloaded or there was a surge.

what does that r15 cell do on the daughterboard?

No I'm not checking if it is counterfeit, but anything out of the ordinary.
